I trade in both worlds

"I provide the fabric, style, size and quantity." Xu Xu took out a few sheets of paper from his arms and handed them to her.

Second Grandma took the paper, glanced at it, and returned it to Xu Xu: "What are you showing me? I don't understand it. Tell me."

Xu Xu smiled and pointed at the top sheet of paper and said, "I need to tell you a little bit first. Keep these sheets of paper for you. If you don't know or can't remember, take them to ask Brother Jianli. This sheet of paper lists in detail the types of fabrics I provided."

Then he drew the second piece of paper: "Write here the specific size and quantity."

"The last three are shoe patterns. I plan to make four patterns for each style." He then took out the last three shoe patterns and gave them to Second Grandma.

"Wow, these shoes are pretty nice." Second Grandma leaned over to take a look, pointed at one of them and asked, "Don't you want embroidery on this one?"

"No need." Xu Xu replied, "I plan to make a batch first to test the waters. I will make 50 pairs of each of the smallest and largest sizes, and 100 pairs of the other sizes first."

"That's a lot." Second Grandma looked at Xu Xu worriedly, "Xu Xu, can you sell all these shoes? Should you make more?"

Xu Xu smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, Second Madam. I have found a buyer. As long as our shoes are well made, they will buy them."

This time, the second grandmother was relieved: "Don't worry about the shoes. I promise that every pair of shoes I give you will be durable and comfortable to wear."

Xu Xu smiled and nodded: "I can trust Second Madam to do things."

"How much do you plan to charge?" asked the second grandmother.

"I plan to pay five cents a pair for the labor of the non-embroidery shoes, and ten cents a pair for the embroidered shoes, or I can exchange them for food or cloth at the market price. What do you think?"

After hearing this, the Second Mistress nodded with satisfaction and said, "This price is fair. It will be up to them to decide whether they want money or food or cloth."

Xu Xu thought for a moment and continued, "By the way, the fabric will be provided according to the amount of shoes needed, and the remaining fabric will be at your disposal."

Second Grandma smiled and said, "Okay, kid, I agree to this."

Then he asked, "When will it start? How long will it take to deliver?"

Xu Xu pondered for a while: "Second Grandma, how long does it take to make these shoes?"

Second Grandma thought for a moment and said, "It will take at least a month. You have a lot of work, but it might be faster if we find a few more people."

"Don't worry, the quality of the shoes is more important." Xu Xu said.

Second Grandma nodded and said, "There are a few other good shoemakers in the village. I'll go ask them later."

After the discussion, Xu Xu didn't plan to stay any longer. She stood up and said, "Then I'll go back and prepare the fabric. I'll bring it to you when it arrives."

Xu Xu left a few pieces of paper and turned away.

After leaving the clan leader's house, Xu Xu went to Xu Jizong's house again, and then returned to the modern era to buy thread for making shoes.

A week later, all the materials were in place, and Xu Xu moved them back home without stopping. Seeing the piles of cloth, Xu Xu was silent for a while, then ran to the clan leader's house to ask Xu Jianli to pull a cart to move the cloth.

As soon as the second grandmother received the materials, she started to take action. After allocating the fabrics, sizes and quantities, she found a group of women and started to get busy.

Some people are responsible for cutting the fabric, some are responsible for sewing the soles, and others focus on embroidering the uppers.

Xu Ziqing began to design the packaging for the shoes and looked for manufacturers to produce them.

At this time, Xu Ziqi was already standing outside the city gate of the capital. Looking at the towering city walls and the bustling market, Xu Ziqi felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.

He knew very well that this ancient city not only carried a rich history and culture.

They slowly walked into the gate of the capital city. The hustle and bustle of the city instantly flooded into their ears and eyes.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, with a dazzling array of goods that are dazzling to the eyes. There is an endless stream of pedestrians, the hustle and bustle of cars and horses, and it is very lively.

"Mr. Xu, let's find a place to stay first." Li Dali suggested, his voice rough and powerful.

Xu Ziqi nodded. He looked around and saw that the streets and alleys of the capital were crowded with people and very bustling.

But it is not easy for a stranger to find a suitable inn in this strange city.

"Which inn do you usually stay in when you go on escort missions?" Xu Ziqi asked.

Zhang Feng scratched his head and replied, "Our Hongbang Escort Agency's headquarters is in the capital."

The escorts wanted to live in the escort agency, which was convenient and comfortable, but it was not convenient for Xu Ziqi to live in the escort agency.

Xu Ziqi smiled and said, "Do you know which inn in the capital has a more comfortable environment, convenient location, and reasonable price?"

"Mr. Xu, why don't we go to the Fulai Inn? I heard from other escort agents in the agency that the environment there is good and the prices are reasonable." Zhao Tiezhu suggested.

His voice is as steady as a mountain, giving people a sense of reliability.

Xu Ziqi thought about it and nodded.

We rode in a carriage and slowly arrived at the door of Fulai Inn.

The inn's facade was decorated simply and cleanly, with two big red lanterns hanging in front of the door, making it look particularly festive.

They walked into the inn. The lobby was spacious and bright, with neatly arranged tables and chairs and the floor swept cleanly.

A neatly dressed waiter came up to us and asked with a smile, "Dear guests, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?"

"Stay in the hotel." Xu Ziqi replied: "Do you have any empty rooms here?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Our environment is comfortable and the prices are reasonable. I'm sure you will be satisfied." The waiter said quickly and took them to the counter.

Xu Ziqi inquired about the price carefully and felt quite satisfied, so he asked for three medium-sized rooms.

Xu Ziqi's room was on the second floor of the inn, with a busy street outside the window. He stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside, his heart full of expectations and longings.

The next day, Xu Ziqi brought his escorts to the famous tourist attraction in the capital - Daxiangguo Temple.

Daxiangguo Temple is located in the center of Bianjing City, covering a vast area and with a rigorous layout.

Xu Ziqi and four bodyguards walked into the temple and saw the majestic and magnificent main hall and the golden Buddha statues.

They walked slowly along the corridor inside the temple, admiring the ancient buildings and exquisite Buddha statues.

Inside the temple, ancient trees stand tall, incense is burning, and the sounds of monks chanting can be heard one after another.

The layout of Daxiangguo Temple is well-organized, with various halls, pavilions, monks' quarters and other buildings built according to the mountain terrain, stacked up in an orderly manner.

They first came to the Hall of Heavenly Kings, where the Four Heavenly Kings were enshrined in a majestic and solemn manner.

Then, we passed the Bell Tower and Drum Tower. The two towering buildings stood out in the sun.
